What a Finale!
After weeks filled with bushtucker trials and unexpected friendships, the 2025 season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has come to an exhilarating conclusion. Social media star Angry Ginge, also known as Morgan Burtwistle, has been crowned the new king of the jungle, much to the delight of fans everywhere.
A Journey of Trials and Triumphs
Over the past three weeks, viewers have witnessed a unique blend of humor, fear, and camaraderie as various celebrities battled their fears in unpredictable trials. Angry Ginge, at just 24 years old, has taken the audience on a rollercoaster ride through his eccentric rants and heartfelt moments. Beyond the challenges, he emerged as a relatable figure, bringing light-heartedness to the often daunting atmosphere of the jungle.
Meet the Contenders
Competing against a star-studded cast, including ex-EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, Celebs Go Dating's Tom Read Wilson, and rapper Aitch, Ginge led the pack with charm and audacity. The competition was fierce, with celebrities like Jack Osbourne and Ruby Wax also vying for the crown. But, in the end, the Mancunian's charisma shone through, winning the hearts of the audience.
“I feel amazing. Honestly, it's a dream come true,” said Ginge after his victory.
The Votes Are In
The final saw three contestants, including the now-eliminated McGarty, competing in trials that determined their dining experiences. The delight of consuming a three-course meal in the bush was a well-deserved reward for Ginge, who garnered the most public votes.
Celebrating in Style
As the winner, Ginge not only claimed the title but also the admiration of celebratory figures, including Manchester Central MP Lucy Powell, who congratulated him on social media: “It was a Mancunian series and Manchester prevailed!” This acknowledgment reflects how closely viewers have aligned themselves with Ginge's journey from a content creator to a beloved reality star.
Behind the Scenes and the Rules of Engagement
This year's series also introduced new rules to diversify the challenges faced by contestants. Previous contestants found themselves over-exposed to horrid trials, but this season aimed for balance. Contestants would only do “two in a row and miss a go,” allowing for a fairer chance for each celebrity to showcase their strengths.
Before entering the competition, Ginge had stated that being a part of this show was on his “bucket list.” His rise to fame has been a fascinating journey, marked by viral videos and a growing online presence that captivated audiences across the UK.
A Memorable Season
This final episode was not just a celebration of Ginge's win, but a reflective moment on how reality TV continues to serve as a microcosm of our society. It illustrates the complexities of fame, connection, and, ultimately, who we choose to elevate into our cultural canon. Ginge, with his larger-than-life personality and relatable follies, represents a new breed of reality star—one that blends genuine emotion with sheer entertainment.
Looking Forward
As we wrap up I'm A Celebrity 2025, it begs the question—what does the future hold for Angry Ginge? Will he continue to captivate audiences as he moves beyond the jungle? Or will he seek new avenues in the chaotic world of social media? Whatever path he takes, it's clear that we aren't done cheering for Ginge just yet.
In a landscape full of manufactured personalities, here's hoping for more authentic tales like his—humorous, heartfelt, and, ultimately, human.
